After a while, Cui Jie rushed to the City Lord's Mansion. He should have known about Cui Lan, his eyes were red, "My lord, my little sister..."
Lin Bei opened his eyes and looked at Cui Jie. He had only seen Cui Jie once, and it was when he was in Longtan, because Lin Bei got raw bone grass for Cui Lan and healed Cui Jie's foot injury.Cui Jie came over to express his thanks. Looking at Cui Jie, Lin Bei felt as if he had passed away.
"Cui Lan has been buried in the sea, and my lord is also very sad."
Cui Jie prostrated himself on the ground, weeping softly.
"What position are you in the army now?" Lin Bei asked.
"The villain does not have a military position, because my younger sister once said that she is the head of the guard, but she has no specialties. She is loved by the adults. Let me not say that I am her elder brother in the army. The younger sister loves the villain , and never let villains go into battle."
Lin Bei smiled wryly in his heart. It seems that Cui Lan had expected such a day long ago. In order not to cut off the blood of the Cui family, that's why he didn't let his elder brother fight. .It is said that one person attains the Tao, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.As the chief of the guard, Cui Lan was in charge of the sergeants, but her elder brother was not even the chief of the corps. Thinking of this kind of strict self-discipline, Lin Bei felt more guilty and sad.
"Since it is Cui Lan's wish, my lord must fulfill it. Cui Jie, now you can leave the army and return home. With my lord here, you can keep your Cui family safe for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"
Cui Jie kowtowed to Lin Bei: "My lord, a villain doesn't want to do this. A good man should die in battle. Now that my younger sister has passed away, as an elder brother, although a villain is not as talented as my younger sister, I still want to follow the path of my younger sister. Conquer for the Lord, pacify the Quartet, and hope for the Lord's permission."
"You still have an old father in your family, but now you have children."
"No heirs."
"Then you go home and ask your father before you speak. If your father agrees, then my lord will fulfill it for you."
"Thank you sir."
Seeing Cui Jie get up and leave the city lord's mansion, Lin Bei felt that his heart was overwhelmed.
An Zhongzhi and Bian Ji walked in quietly, An Zhongzhi bit the bullet and said: "My lord, what should we do about the funeral of Chief Wei?"
"You can figure it out. Now that Cui Lan is buried in the sea and there is no body, do I need to use the Clothes Tomb?"
"exactly?"
"Well, according to what Zhongzhi said." Lin Bei paused: "Make it more grand, and then my lord will worship in person to comfort Cui Lan's spirit in heaven."
"Does the whole city need to hold a funeral?"
"it is good!"
"promise."
"You go out first, let me be quiet."
After a while, before Bian Ji and An Zhongzhi retreated, Lin Bei opened his eyes: "What else?"
An Zhong gritted his teeth: "My lord, now that Cui Lan has passed away, the position of chief guard..."
Lin Bei wanted to get angry, but you were anxious to fight for power right after Cui Lan died?Fortunately, Lin Bei knew that his own mentality was wrong, so he suppressed his anger, "Just promote him from the commander-in-chief, and let me have a look at the specific candidate after you have finished discussing."
The news that Cui Lan, the head of the guard, was buried in the sea soon spread throughout the city, and because Lord Dragon God ordered to go down to the city to hold the funeral, so every family in the city hung up white cloth or white paper, and the city was full of plain onyx, full of mourning.
Hearing the news, the father of the Cui family yelled my son, my son, and then passed out. After he woke up, Cui Jie told his father that he would continue to serve in the army. Let Cui Jie work hard for the adults, don't embarrass Cui Lan, after Lin Bei heard it, he didn't speak for a long time.
Cui Lan's funeral was held three days later, and it was very grand. Because the body could not be found, Cui Lan's clothes could only be put in the coffin. During the funeral, Lin Bei went to visit Cui Lan's tombstone After paying respects, he left.
After Cui Lan's funeral, for several days in a row, Lin Bei was depressed and unable to cheer up anything. He just met the new chief of guards. His name was Zhang Cheng. After the transfer, Cui Jie was appointed as the centurion, and the original centurion was appointed as the new thousand commander. These people were also received by Lin Bei at the city lord's mansion.
.....
And thousands of miles away, on the beach of a small island, a woman in ragged clothes was washed up. The woman woke up dazedly after spitting out several mouthfuls of sea water. Several dolphins were circling by the sea.
"Why am I still alive?" The woman recalled the experience of falling into the sea, and then remembered the large school of fish swimming in the sea at that time, "Could it be those sea fish that saved me?"
The woman pulled her hair up and revealed her face. This woman was Cui Lan. When Cui Lan looked towards the sea, a big dolphin suddenly jumped up from the sea, as if saying hello to Cui Lan.
PS:....
Chapter 222 The Strange Girl Yueying
Time is the best healing medicine. After a few days, although Lin Bei would sigh at the thought of Cui Lan, he would not feel so sad. Life must go on, right?
Now Lin Bei is most concerned about two things. The first is iron ore, and the second is steam carriages. Iron ore is still the most important thing. If iron cannot be mined, steam carriages will be difficult to form. Without iron, ships cannot be built. .
"Mining is already underway, and a batch of iron ore can be shipped back within five days at most." An Zhong reported directly.
"Five days is fine, by the way, where is the Fengsi tribe, is there any news?"
"According to the news from the sergeant, the Fengsi tribe should be wary of us. They threw a lot of sharp logs into the Mekong River, and then intercepted them with nets. Once they found our military ship, they would release these sharp logs. Destruction of ships, though simple, is extremely effective."
"Yeah." Lin Bei nodded: "They can't build a big ship, and the sergeants are not as good as our Wanghai City. It's good to think of this method, let's ignore them."
The Fengsi tribe has almost no threat. Without ships, they can only defend passively. The defensive side is generally under the greatest pressure, just like defending against thieves every day. It will collapse one day, so Lin Bei is not in a hurry. As for the Haka tribe , because they are too far away, so there is very little news, and they don't know if they are prepared.
An Zhongzhi reported the major events in the city again, and An Zhongzhi would do it every two or three days. In fact, An Zhongzhi had already done a good job. He gradually became more comfortable with the internal affairs. Many things no longer required Lin Bei to nod in person. Except for some special ones.
"Yesterday, the fishermen brought back a total of more than 25 catties of big fish, and now they are all in the warehouse and are being dried. Now the amount of dried fish in our fish bank in Wanghai City has reached more than [-] catties. These fish need to be dealt with urgently. What can you do?" Way?"
Even if this kind of thing is quite special, there are too many fishes in the sea now, so it is very troublesome. When Zhen Ping came, Lin Bei actually thought about selling the fish to Zhen Ping, but it was still counted. up.Because salted fish cannot be made in this era, not because it cannot be done, but because salt is too expensive. If all fish are made into salted fish, the price of a single fish can catch up with the price of refined salt, and people who eat this kind of fish will definitely not eat it. Many, naturally dried fish are easy to spoil in summer, so it is really not easy to deal with.
"Now fishermen don't eat much fish, do they?"
"Yes, the taste of sea fish is indeed not as good as that of river fish. It always has a fishy smell, and our people are not used to it."
"Then let's make the fish into fish floss. Besides, isn't my curry still coconut?"
"Yes, there are still a lot of coconuts in the adult's curry, do you want to eat some?"
Lin Bei shook his head: "No, I mean using coconuts to make fish floss."
Lin Bei talked about the method of making fish floss, but he had never made fish floss.But I know how to make it, because the method of making fish floss is quite simple.As long as the fish meat, fish skin and fish bones are removed, then smashed and stir-fried, until the end of the frying, all the water in the fish meat will be gone, and it will become fish floss, of course.The fish floss produced in this era is probably a bit unpalatable, because there are not so many seasonings, so Lin Bei is going to soak the fish meat with coconut milk, and use the taste of coconut milk to remove the fishy smell, so that the fish floss produced will have a coconut fragrance.Estimated taste should be good.
After An Zhongzhi listened, he was overjoyed: "My lord, this method is wonderful. Although it is a bit complicated, if you make fish with this method, you won't have to worry about people not eating fish."
"Try first and then talk. If it works, then follow this method."
What Lin Bei had to do in Wanghai City was very simple, and someone would take care of it after he ordered it. Soon, a bowl of milky white fish floss was served, and An Zhong pinched it with his hands a few times. It smells like coconut, Lin Bei and An Zhongzhi both tried it, Lin Bei thought it was good, but An Zhongzhi thought it was very delicious.
"My lord, it's a pity that the Moro fruit is gone, otherwise the dried fish soaked in Moro juice should have a special flavor."
"Well, the bananas are about to ripen. When the time comes, you can squeeze the bananas into juice and use them to make this fish floss." Lin Bei also proposed other ideas.
Afterwards, the fish floss was popularized, and the common people were amazed. They thought that the taste of the fish was transformed after this method. After the coconut milk was used up, the fish floss fried with fish fat oil tasted better than air-dried fish. It eats a lot, and it is easy to carry. The common people take some with them when they go out to work, and they can eat it directly when they are resting.
In less than a few days, the fish floss became the favorite food of the whole city, because this fish floss was also thought up by Lin Bei, so the fish floss became the "adult fish floss". If you don't come down, it's not enough.
"It would be great if this kind of thing could be stored for a longer period of time." Lin Bei was greatly encouraged by the success of the fish floss. There are so many fish in the sea now that Wanghai City is guarding Baoshan but cannot be developed. If the fish floss can be stored, he said Maybe it can be exchanged for some money, and then let the Zhen family get some people from the Central Plains.
So how to store fish floss?Lin Bei thought of resin, so he started to collect it, and called the tailor Li San to come over.
